For me, one of the best parts of being an artist (and also one of the most deliciously difficult at times) is exploring my way through where to go next… I’m inspired by so many things, including the wilderness on whose border I live, a color, a sound, a song or poem… and then a landslide of new (in this case literal) material comes my way and I can feel the edges of my consciousness prickling with how it all connects, but it doesn’t yet. It’s the knowing that it will, somehow, that is that electric edge of the creative process. Knowing I can trust it and follow it, and bring it into form. My educational background covers many different disciplines, but I spent quite a bit of time playing with fiber. I also started shopping at thrift stores when I was a teenager and before it was cool to do so… but loved the history of the objects and items I found… in this case I now have stacks of incredible upholstery samples which may have been otherwise headed to the landfill, but neither the designer who gifted them nor myself could stomach that… so let’s see what they become instead. A patchwork substrate for a painting? A sculpture? I have ideas… #creativeprocess #contemporarypainting #reclaimed #interiordesign #treasurenottrash

Another… this one much smaller at only 18x24. Acrylic and spray paint on reclaimed upholstery fabric, over cradled birch panel. Not quite done, but close. Started this guy a few weeks ago during the tail end of the holiday break. #contemporarywildlifeart #contemporarypainting #truckeeartist #tahoeartist #tahoeblackbear #roaringblackbear

This is what’s been keeping me busy in the studio… beautiful Samson, one of Nevada’s wild stallions. Mixed acrylic on canvas, 48x60”. From a gorgeous source photo taken by the talented Troy Wright. @troy_wright_photography I’m so very glad I stumbled upon this incredibly talented person a few years ago on Facebook, who had taken up photography in retirement, and that he was generous enough to allow me to use some of his images as inspiration… what an amazing second act he’s having as a photographer. Please check out his page and the goods he has available, and let it inspire you too. #tahoeart #nevada #nevadawilderness #wildhorses #contemporarywildlifeart

I’ll be set up at @riversidestudios this Friday doing some live painting during their first Festive Friday, which also happens to be their once-a-year seconds sale. The perfect time to come by, do a little local holiday shopping, say hi, and see everything the gallery has to offer as well as some of the latest littles I’ve been working on… cozy pieces for cozy spaces. #contemporarypainting #smallworks #contemporarywildlifeartist #shoplocal #shopsmallbusiness #womenledbusinesses

Just a few bears… two littles in progress, a couple play pieces (where I experiment with new things), a mama and her wee babe. I saw a fuzzy cutie crossing the road half a block from my house the other day… looked like they were fattening up well for winter ❤️ #tahoelife #luckyartist #furryneighbors
